We’ve had quite a few musicians play on Sonny’s Porch in our time but having Fat Tony on deck was unlike anything we’d ever seen before.
For starters, we’ve never had a rapper roll through. But we’ve also never had an artist play their entire album for us before. ‘Exotica’ was unconventional and one-of-a-kind from start to finish. It was like listening to a series of short stories orchestrated by hypnotic, experimental sound. Not sure what was more impressive: the story of his thrifted 1976 election T-Shirt or the fact that he knew all the lyrics to Bad Brains "Banned in D.C.", but one thing’s for certain - Fat Tony is a music wizard.
His style is hip hop, a little punk, and yet simultaneously un-categorical—and that's what we love about him. His extensive knowledge of music blew us away. From classical to Motown, he’s heard it, studied it, and has found a unique way of letting it flow into everything he creates.
He propped up the ‘Exotica’ album art onto an easel on the porch, grabbed his mic, and started the show.
Sonny’s Porch has always been about community, ever since our first band squeezed onto the tiny stage at our Cocoa Beach home/office back in 2015. Since then, it’s been our way of welcoming friends, family, and under-the-radar musicians into our world. This time, it was Being Dead’s turn.
From the local honky-tonk circuit to the mechanical-bull-like wedges in the pool, we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting zone to welcome Rattlesnake Milk at our pop-up Sonny’s Porch event on opening day of the 2025 Waco Surf Water Park summer season.
